The Atlanta Hawks have announced a partnership with the FanDuel Sports Network, Atlanta News First (WANF), and Peachtree Sports Network (PSN) to simulcast 11 select games during the 2025-2026 NBA season. This collaboration aims to enhance viewer accessibility and engagement, beginning with the Hawks’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 8, 2025.
The simulcast will feature broadcasts on WANF and PSN that mirror the coverage on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast. Fans can look forward to the familiar voices of local broadcasters, including Bob Rathbun, Dominique Wilkins, Madison Hock, Matt Winer, and Brian Oliver. This initiative reflects a commitment to providing an outstanding viewing experience for Hawks enthusiasts.
According to Andrew Saltzman, President of Business Enterprise and Chief Commercial Officer of the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena, “We are fortunate to partner with WANF and PSN on these broadcasts, giving Hawks fans another great way to watch some of our biggest games this season.” He emphasized that the partnership underscores their focus on ensuring easy access to Hawks games.
Erik Schrader, General Manager of WANF, expressed excitement about the opportunity to broadcast more games. “A huge advantage of being independent is we can now carry even more Hawks games than we’ve been able to do previously, as we continue to bring Atlanta-centric programming to our Atlanta viewers,” he stated.
The partnership also highlights the goals of the FanDuel Sports Network. Damon Phillips, Executive Vice President of Team Partnerships at FanDuel, noted, “Simulcasting Hawks games on Atlanta News First and Peachtree Sports Network allows us to showcase the exceptional quality of our broadcasts and on-air talent to a new audience.”
With a total of 72 Hawks games expected to be televised and streamed by FanDuel Sports Network this season, the selected simulcasts serve as a preview of what fans can anticipate throughout the year.
